6 Claims.

The present invention relates to improvements in jar closures.

An object of the invention is the provision of a jar closure having permanently attached to its upper side, a small container or an ornamental object. To this end the invention may take the form of a container for rouge or face powder permanently attached to the upper side of the closure, the latter, for example, being used to seal a cold cream jar.

Other objects will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.

In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a side elevational view.

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary detail view showing an ornamental object attached to the closure in lieu of the container shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

In Figs. 1 and 2 the closure 5 is shown attached to a cream jar 6 or the like, having a filling opening 7 defined by an externally screw threaded neck 8.

The closure 5 includes inner and outer'caps 9 and 10 respectively, the inner cap including a circular top portion 11 and a depending screw threaded attaching flange 12. A sealing ring 13 is carried by the inner cap for engagement with the sealing surface of the jar. The outer cap 10 which obscures the threaded flange of the inner cap as well as the top portion thereof, includes a circular top portion 14 and depending annular flange 15. This outer cap is telescoped over the screw threaded cap and the lower marginal portions of both caps are rolled inwardly together and suitably connected forming an internal bead 16. The connection between the caps is such that there is no relative rotation between them.

In the preferred form of the invention a small container 17 for rouge, face powder, or the like is permanently attached to the closure 5. Such attachment is effected by means of a radial outwardly extending flange 18 on the base of the container 1'7 clamped between the circular top portions 11 and 14 of the two caps. Thebody portion 19 of the container extends upwardly through a vertical opening 20 in the outercap 10 and may include a hinged closure 21.

In Fig. 3 there is shown a slight modification in which an ornamental object 22, such as the representation of an animal, is substituted for the container 17. A base 23 supporting the object includes a radial flange 24 which is secured between the circular top portions 11 and 14 of the inner and outer caps respectively.

Modifications may be resorted to within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. In combination, a closure including inner and outer caps telescoped one within the other and secured together, said caps including circular top portions, and an object projecting upwardly from the closure through an opening in the top portion of the outer cap and having an attaching flange clamped between said top portions.

2. In combination, a closure including inner and outer caps telescoped one within the other and secured together, said caps including circular top portions, the top portion on the outer cap having a vertical central opening therein, an object projecting above the outer cap and provided with a base, and a flange extending radially outward from the base and clamped between said top portions.

3. In combination, a jar closure including inner and outer caps, each cap consisting of a circular top portion and a depending flange, said caps telescoped one within the other, means for securing the caps together, the top portion of the outer cap being formed with a central vertical opening, an object projecting upwardly from the closure and including a base disposed in said opening, and a radial flange on the base clamped between the top portions of said caps.

4. In combination, a jar closure including inner and outer caps, each cap consisting of a circular top portion and a depending flange, said caps telescoped one within the other, means for securing the caps together, the top portion of the outer cap being formed with a central vertical opening, a container arranged externally of the closure and including a body portion extending through said opening, and a radial flange at the lower end of the body clamped between the circular top portions of said caps.

5. In combination, a metal closure comprising inner and outer caps secured together, each cap including a circular top portion and a depending attaching flange about its margin, the outer cap having a central vertical opening in its top portion, a container projecting upwardly through said opening and above the closure, and an attaching flange at the lower end of the container clamped between the top portions of said caps.

6. In combination, a metal closure comprising inner and outer caps secured together, each cap including a circular top. portion and a depending attaching flange about its margin, the outer cap having a central vertical opening in its top portion, a container projecting upwardly through said opening and above the closure, and means extending radially from the lower end of the container and clamped between the top portions of said caps for securing the closure and container assembled.
